Baker looks to have Art Miami, Convention Center officials meet

Palm Beach County Administrator Verdenia Baker said she has been trying to set a date for a meeting between officials with the Palm Beach County Convention Center and Art Miami, which puts on a sprawling show each year.

Art Miami and the Convention Center have been in a dispute about when and where the show will take place next year.

Baker said she is hoping the parties can meet next month, perhaps on January 11.

“We welcome (Art Miami) to come to Palm Beach County and use our convention center,” Baker said. “We are still building our brand in Palm Beach County, and we want to see them treated with the utmost respect.”
